Channel Islands Reef Heazlewood 3-Piece Arch Tail Pad
Surfers looking into the Channel Islands Reef Heazlewood tail pad are usually after a traction pad built with a pro team rider's input, and this pad is designed around exactly that, combining two different groove textures in one pad.
What This Pad Is Built From
Channel Islands built this pad around its Lined-up pattern as a base combined with a diamond groove, creating a mixed groove grip texture that its top team riders favor. It has a 30mm vert kick with grooved and beveled corners, a 6mm oval arch, and comes as a 3 piece pad made from BioGrip Natural EVA foam with a 3M Marine Grade adhesive backing.

Who This Pad Is For
This tail pad suits surfers who want a high-performance traction setup for hard turns and consistent back foot lock-in, whether they are surfing South Florida's local breaks or traveling with their board, and want the same texture combination their favorite team riders use.
Installing and Caring For It
Apply the pad to a clean, dry deck so the 3M Marine Grade adhesive can bond properly, and rinse the board of sand and salt after sessions so grit does not work into the grooved texture and wear it down faster over time.
